It's not this dark in person. My camera phone just phones it in at night. I followed the LED swap guide in the DIY section of this site, and I got to say, not too bad. I'm probably going to swap these out with some wider angle LEDs (120s instead of the 100s) to hopefully lessen the hot spots. I didn't have the 1 extra bulb I needed for the fuel/temp gauges yet so they got cropped.
